In 2000-2001 the specialists of TsAGI and ILIT of the Russian Academy of Sciences developed the photopolymeric molds and tried up the technology of producing in these molds the wing tips of a complicated shape made of composite materials. During further development a complicated hybrid structure of a balance aerodynamic model was generated including primary metallic elements, contour-forming elements made of composites as well as separate contour-forming elements made directly from photopolymer. Prospects for extending this technology to dynamic and elastic models are considered.*
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
